Great experience today!! I forgot to grab my cash from self checkout yesterday, I came back today and the self checkout attendant Lorriane??,remembered that I left the money yesterday, she then went out of her way to handle it and refunded me the money. Shes a sweetheart and management needs to know that and give solid feedback to her. I appreciate the great customer service and I enjoy my shopping at this location its always been a great local choice for me.

I was traveling along I-5 and stopped at this particular Safeway for gas. It was a nice experience. There were a lot of lanes, the pumps were updated and easy to understand, and there were no long lines to wait in. I got in and out and back on the road rather quickly.

The staff are friendly, helpful, eager to please. They helped me remember the name of foam soaps I liked. I got what I needed and only spent $9.00. I would recommend this business

Ive been shopped here twice now and liking it more & more. Store is clean, bathroom is clean also and staff has been friendly, very helpful. Taking me a bit to get the layout down but its coming to me. Big selection of products. Had a great roast beef sandwich from the deli counter, going to try the Chinese for lunch at my next visit.

As far as Safeways go... This is a good one, Id say. Its pretty big compared to many of their other stores. I like the selection here. Except, it seems they are often out of the 12 packs of Lemonade I usually go in there for... And, I have yet to find any cans of Cactus Cooler here... Or in any other store Ive yet visited here in Washington. Whats up with that??

I just wanted to take a moment to say that you have a cashier that is soooo amazing and such a hard worker. Her name is Ramona. I dont know her personally but shop here weekly and always see her in various parts of the store busting her butt. Shes constantly multitasking and always so helpful and kind to everyone. Even when they are short staffed. You really have a incredible employee in here and I hope she is appreciated.

Shelves have been mostly stocked where as Walmart and Winco have not been. However most of the employees arent very friendly. A few are though. The short woman with very curly short hair whos worked there forever is extremely rude. Produce has a nice selection. Prices arent great but at least it pays with gas rewards.

Great customer service today. Although the traffic was heavy it was still easy to maneuver and get around the store. Due to the snow storm, Im assuming. The shelves were kind of Barre. Overall great experience shopping.

Staff is amazing, need to know your prices-some things are highest in town and then some, selection is plentiful, we always enjoy shopping here. Kelso Safeway is by far the best of the 3 Safeways in town.

Always love Safeway its just at this certain store just hard to get any customer service.

Review №32

Businesses need to allow consumers to name their own price for goods, provide living wages, and create more than enough jobs for everyone. Then capitalism could work. This safeway is fine by todays standards, and the employees are rude when its close to closing time, no doubt due to pressure from corporate management. Just give the employees overtime.

Review №33

Great produce. Excellent choice if meat cuts. Place is good for a quick in and out if you need just a couple things, or everything you need to stock your cupboards with. Dont forget to sign up for. Safeway rewards card and also set up a membership on the web site for awesome digital coupons. You can also take your little fury friend in if need be and they do have public bathrooms.

Like everyother Safeway there is only 2-3 checkstands open and self checkout is always packed by people who are doing the employees job by checking themselves out. The layout is kinda wonky but other than that its just a safeway.

I have favorite cashiers but wont mentione names! Some Safeway workers young men&women: stare w/a look as if u r not liked/welcomed, R rude & have an attitude. I shop more@ WinCo due 2 pricing but enjoy our local Safeway 4 selection, a quick buy or items on sale. Customer service is good 4 the most part. Thank u Delia 4 your alertness, kindness and taking care of customers in the correct order!

Safeway in kelso is open till midnight every night and always have staff and workers that are friendly. Plus you can usually find good deals if you have the time to check everything out with the club card and weekly coupon/digital coupon/Friday $5 deals. Only complaint I have is their best deals are usually limited to how many you can by at a very low amount per household. But oh well, they still get a solid 4 stars from me !!

Safeway has been a member of Kelso, Washington for over 30 years (At different locations). However, this is also a problem when Tops was the only other grocery store in Kelso it forced Safeway to have a price war for their customers attention, since Tops left Kelso in 2002 Safeway has had the monopoly in Kelso for groceries meaning that the prices have been slowly raising over the last 15 years. In 2002 I recall the price of a double layer cake from the bakery at a price of $7.99, now its nearing 12 or even 13 dollars, depending on the time of the week. Safeway fails to realize that their competition is winning over their customer base because of the options that they are offering. Walmart, Winco, and Fred Meyers all have installed Self Serve checkout after Safeway led the way in that field, only for them to know take it out and replace them with two Express isles which are never open when I go to get some food. There is more I could talk about, its sad to see that Safeway is unable to see how they are losing the current price wars with their competition. The only reason I honestly go to Safeway anymore is to get my prescriptions filled and for the Sweet and Sour chicken. Other then that, I dont do my business there any longer. :(UPDATE 6/12/2017: About two weeks ago they reinstalled the self serve stations, which makes me scratch my head as to why they took them out to begin with. Hopefully, this is a turn around and maybe price drops will be next. Only time will tell.UPDATE 7/3/2017: On 7/1/2017 I went to Safeway to get some dinner, I was checking out the cold deli and they had a cut up sub sandwich priced at $4.00, I viewed this as a deal considering their all american subs are $6.99 so I grabbed it. I headed over to the checkout and when they scanned the UPC it came back at the price of $16.00, I told them that the sign said $4.00. I refused to purchase the sandwich at 4X the price that was advertised.Be careful, if you go to this branch of Safeway, make sure you visually confirm what the price is it seems that they are trying to trick people into paying extremely more for cheap objects.Pros: Self Serve CheckoutPros: Even though I didnt mention it, the pharmacy is decent.Pros: Courteous workers.Cons: Prices too high.Cons: Not enough open check out lanes.Cons: Major graffiti issue, also major panhandler problem. Cant get off the bus without being asked for cigarettes or money.Cons: The day before a major holiday, its hell trying to get out of the store in a decent amount of time. Christmas Eve 2016, at 4pm, they had 3 lanes open on top of the self serve checkout, we only had two items and had to go back to the deli to cash out. Very sad.

The worst safeway I have ever bought food from. My stuff salmon and my pre season salmon from the seafood case was spoiled when I got home to cook it. Also my cucumbers that are individual wrapped english cucumber were all slimy when I open them . Im leary now chicken I bought in family package if its gonna be bad too. I drive 30mins to shop. I wasnt happy I had food that was bad. And wasnt worth the gas to drive back to exchange something I felt would be another bad product. Sadly wont be returning to Safeway.

Went to get 2nd shot and decided to pick up some groceries. Got in line for checkout— wrong move — line backed up we were #4. 30 minutes later got to checker. Other checker finally showed up but never came to relieve our line and since we were in an aisle we couldn’t even see any were open. What happened to having people available to help check out. Never again Kelso Safeway

Very few of the original workers still there,baggers are great,cashiers not friendly, just not great customer service and I have been going there over 40 years,plus prices are high and I was willing to pay in exchange for the service,not any more.Maybe its Covid but I have to say Winco workers seem to be happy,,I see smiling faces yes even with masks on,I go to Safeway because its closer but use Winco for big shopping trips and I dont like to bag my own.

There was alot of people not wearing masks and alot of the safeway employees didnt do anything. There was people wearing confederate flag hoodies/masks and it was disgusting, not to mention its $3 more for a thing of chips there then the one near my house. Do better safeway.

Safeway is Safeway. That said. This store doesnt have the most convenient layout. The pharmacy splits the store up as it is located somewhat in the middle. That means you, at times, might need to go around the pharmacy to get what you want and need. That part is somewhat inconvenient and other stores that dont use this layout are faster to navigate. Other than that. Produce appears to be decent. Groceries are what they are and the pricing is okay if you make use of their coupons and/or their app. Store appears otherwise clean and staff is friendly.

I try to go in the evenings because i dont like big crowds, I loved it when Safeway was open 24hrs. Now when i go, yes there are fewer shoppers, but they have FULL carts (like me) and only running one regular checker & the express line. The line tonight was almost to the pharmacy desk. Self check handles the few items people, thats good. Theyd call for people to help out, plenty of them... Call for another checker!Seems like the time i save from crowded hrs. I lose to the single checker. I prefer safeway over Winco, even though its more expensive, simply because they bag the groceries... However, WinCo is open 24hrs...Flip a coin!

Mostly good. Ive rarely had a bad experience but usually when I do its a pretty big one. Other than that love the freshness of the food and that they actually go through the fruits and veggies every day.

The WORST Safeway in the area! So big, yet only 2 registers open - again! Theres a line for both registers and one for the self-check. No one in customer service. A LINE FOR THE SELF-CHECK! Next, well have to stock the shelves and clean before were allowed to check ourselves out.Also, the WORST Starbucks at the WORST Safeway.This opinion is based on many visits as I was told this was the best Safeway when I moved here. Research says... Safeway Ocean Beach Hwy is the best in the area.

The store was great as usual. Ive been shopping there for many years. Today though, when I was there, I had the absolute best, professional, outgoing and courteous checker Ive ever dealt with. It was by far the best service I have ever had.... I went through self checkout and let me tell you. For no training whatsoever I am pretty amazing and a great asset to the company. I just wish they would reduce the price since they dont have the overhead of an actual paid employee.
